Default Coincidences - what are they?

Anyone have any thoughts on coincidences? I've been experiencing quite a few lately. I actually think they are showing up more in my life because I am more easy going and 'going with the flow.' Any thoughts or interesting examples of coincidences?

If they seem to be showing up more then either a) given your more relaxed frame of mind you're better able to notice them so you're seeing more of them or b) the odds simply have it that there are more coincidences happening for you at the moment.

Those are my thoughts. Not exciting but to me the most likely answer.

You know what a coincidence is. By definition, if they are happening more, it does not mean anything. If you seem to be having more, it is just coincidental. Humans have the ability to recognize coincidences.

Sorry! What you want to hear is that this means that you are becoming Godly and soon you will be beyond suffering and will be the savior of mankind. This may all happen but it still has nothing to do with coincidences. It will just be a coincidence.

The strange thing would be if there wouldn't be coincidences from time to time.
The human mind looks for patterns even if they are not there. Look how many people try to predict the stock market!

I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Actually, there is no such thing as a coincidence. You'll just have to trust me on this. There is ALWAYS another answer for what appears to be a coincidence. ALWAYS.
